I'm fortunate that my children's school is not at all like this. They love going to school, so I think a positive experience at public school is very possible. Home schooling is a great option for some people, but it's equally important to have a robust public school system. There are so many efforts made to undermine the quality of public education. Sigh... there are just so many disturbing elements at work. I'm glad that you find my articles helpful, thanks for reading!
